Bob Boozer RIP
I never take note of Sports figures, but this one sort of touches home. Bob Boozer started his career in 1959 at K-State, where my father was teaching. Boozer was in one of my father's classes, and for some unknown reason he visited our house once. Possibly my father was tutoring him.
I remember a VEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRY TAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL man walking through the house and reaching down from the clouds to shake my hand. He had to duck under every doorway, barely cleared the ceiling.
He seemed shy and polite and mature, unlike the usual rambunctious college boys. According to the obits he remained a shy and polite man, except when playing ball. ¶ 5:28 PM
